It's been a while since I have posted a blog, I would apologize but I just didn't know where I wanted this blog to head after finding out about our miracle misdiagnoses... so after much thought I have decided to just talk about what's going on presently, my individual goals and interests instead of focusing solely on medical issues like cleft lip and or palate.

I am about 4 days away from finally meeting our little guy! I'm sitting here trying to figure out everything I need to accomplish before we head to the hospital for my scheduled c-section and guess what I am thinking about?! How I should wear my hair for surgery day! Haha! I've actually done a few searches and the most I am coming up with is a pony tail braid or pigtail braids. Except... I hate those types of braids in my hair and I'm not so sure I want braids in the first pictures of me with my son. Gah! So I'm thinking messy bun with maybe a braided bang? I'm going to check with my doc on the rules in a couple of days since some medical sites that I researched asked that you wear your hair down. I know they usually say no makeup/nail polish etc. but I'll need something to avoid this look that I had going on 6 1/2 years ago: 
Baby is cute though... I just look like a cockatoo with a bad dye job lol. Look, don't judge me here. After gaining what seems to be a baby elephant and retaining water like I have a personal goal of saving it for the whales, I deserve to have a little vain moment. So anyways, not that I really care if you care - I put together my inspiration for delivery day beauty. Amusing myself seems to be my favorite hobby these days. ;)

Okay to explain why I chose these. I simply love the idea of shaggy bangs but I don't have them... Just wondering if maybe I should get some to help camouflage my incredibly swollen face and give me a new do that will compliment the messy bun I will be wearing for the next 18 years of my life. I simply can not wear my hair down in a side bun the day of surgery because of laying flat but I could add this to my after surgery look. I like the messy braid and simple braid but not sure about the inside out braid... It doesn't blend well but who knows how I'll feel. Again, the point is to avoid "cockatoo" and feel like I am put together when the pics are snapped and until my first time I can shower.

I plan on adding a little bit of natural makeup to help with picture taking. My face is horrid right now. I have never had so many breakouts in my life and I'm expecting a boy! I thought baby girls stole your beauty?!

Anywho... That's what's on my mind for now. I'm going to go through my hospital bag and talk about what I've packed and why and then follow that one with my pre-op appointment to give an idea of what to expect day of surgery. Oh and then of course we'll definitely announce the little mister here as well! See you guys soon!
